Destructive (Plate) Boundary.
Under converging convection currents in the asthenosphere, two plates converge.
This is called slab pull.
The denser plate sinks, then subducts into the asthenosphere and melt into magma.

earths crust
earthquakes happen when these sections of earths crust move
Continental plates.
Constructive because new land is 'constructed'
A crack in Earths's crust along which rocks move. It is created by a transform boundary.
The boundary that causes the formation of mountains is called a convergent boundary. This occurs when two tectonic plates collide, causing the Earth's crust to be pushed upwards, creating mountain ranges.
earthquakes make the earths crust collide and sometimes they smash together,such as if one peice of crust goes under the other...makng a point...
Oceanic crust is destroyed at convergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates collide. Subduction occurs at these boundaries, where the denser oceanic crust is forced beneath the less dense continental crust into the mantle, resulting in its destruction.
A divergent boundary is where tectonic plates move away from each other, creating new crust. A convergent boundary is where plates collide, leading to the formation of mountains or subduction zones.
One simple answer involves a destructive plate boundary. When a destructive plate boundary slips, the resulting vibrations rush through the earths crust and you get an earthquake.
